I will examine the different types of pidgin-creole developments and the phenomenon of decreolizing - the approximation of the creole towards the lexifier by using the example of the Hawaiian Creole that I will also portray out of a socio-historical point of view. That creole is officially still called 'Hawai'i Pidgin' by its speakers, but I will avoid using that term in my paper. Therefore, the term Hawai'i Creole English, short HCE, is more appropriate. Furthermore, I will deal with HCE's phonology, especially with its difference to Standard English, in detail - due to the question whether HCE is decreolizing or not. As Norval S. H. Smith states, creole phonology is a \"neglected field\" and \"younger languages\" have the tendency to be not as much irregular as \"elder language\" tend to be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grin Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45568592871575,"sku":"9783656978664","price":2138.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783656978664.webp?v=1767181613","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/development-and-stages-of-pidgins-and-creoles-towards-decreolization-a-phonological-analysis-9783656978664","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
